I later added a fuel pressure sensor to the system - http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/diesel-discussion/362989-adding-fuel-pressure-gauge.html, which is something you might be interested in as I understand veggie fuel is tough on filters and an early warning of clogging would seem to be helpful.

How are you powering the Arduino to deal with the dirty automotive electrical systems?

Cool, I will have to check that out. As far as power goes, the little switching voltage regulator i'm using seems to be putting out power that is plenty clean for the Arduino. I suppose a few capacitors could help too.

The way I prepare my oil pretty much keeps my filter lasting for a few thousand miles, but monitoring fuel pressure might be a useful thing for me to do.
